Kira on the wall

So, I was at the mall with the kids and Cole has to pee. There are no step stools in public restrooms, as you know, so Cole stands on my knees as I squat down. Where does that leave Kira you ask? Why, on the wall of course!

How Jess works from home

Looks easy enough, right? This is Jess on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And amazingly she actually gets stuff done!

Rock-A-Bye Baby

So, last week I realized how horrifying the rock-a-bye baby song really is...Cole has been singing along with me at night when I sing his three songs (see previous entry about this topic) and a few nights ago he goes:  "Mama, what happens to the baby when the cradle breaks?"  And I said, "Oh, ummm...the baby falls out and Daddy catches it." 
Cole:  "Was it Kira?"
Me:  "No, just a baby"
Cole:  "Why did it break?"
Me: "Because the wind was blowing"
Cole:  "Does Daddy have to fix it?"
Me:  "Yes, after he catches the baby he fixes the cradle."
Cole:  "Does he have to get all his tools out of the basement and hammer it back together?!"
Me:  "Yes, now go to sleep!"

I have to think of a new song to replace that one...!

Kira is more and more mobile

Kira is on the verge of walking. Two weeks from her first bday and
she's taking steps between furniture and standing on her own. As you
can see in the pic she's also getting more daring. She climbed up on
Cole's roller coaster by herself. And with supervision Cole is pushing
her back up and pushing her down to ride down all on her own... She
loves it and rides with her legs up in the air and a big smile on her
face!
